Jamie Blundell, President and Chief Operating Officer of CGOC commented, “CGOC realized a loss of 9% over last month compared to the North American Marijuana Index, which realized a 23% loss. Since CGOC’s IPO, our NAV has grown by 12% compared to the NAMMAR, as well as a number of other market indices which declined by an average of 60% in the same time period.
